Among the assignments given to the committee were to discuss what changes should be made to the 1992 Constitution and to review its implementation over the past 20 years.

In addition, the committee had to conduct surveys and assess which social relationships and legal documents would be affected by any changes to the constitution. If necessary, the committee has been tasked with suggesting what changes they should be.

Hung asked the committee members to bear in mind that any amendments or supplements to the 1992 constitution must be in line with the major policies and guidelines of the Party and Government that have been reflected in the Party's Political Platform adopted at the 11th National Party Congress last January, as well as other documents.

During their discussion, committee members expressed their desire to consult experts in various fields during the process of revising the constitution - a functional unit supporting the Drafting Committee.

Minister of Justice Ha Hung Cuong called on board members to give thorough consideration to the language and terminology to be used in the revised constitution.

"Members of the board should include lecturers from major law schools in North, Central and South Viet Nam", said Cuong.

Nguyen Thai Binh, Minister of Home Affairs proposed that members of the board should also include experts on ethnic minorities.

President of the Viet Nam War Veterans Tran Hanh emphasised the need for openness, transparency and communication during the process.

"It is important to consult the community during the process of revising the constitution. This is a good way to create a consensus across the entire society", Hanh said.

In conclusion, NA Chairman Hung asked the committee members to uphold the principle of Party leadership and democracy.

"We have to show our responsibility towards the Party and the people in our work", Hung said.

Phan Trung Ly, Chair of the National Assembly Law Committee and the head of the Editing Board for the revision of the 1992 Constitution has been appointed as the spokesperson for the Drafting Committee.
